Metal Detector

West High Summer Engineering Camp 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our team built two BFO metal detectors.

We used several websites as guides, including http://www.easytreasure.co.uk/bfo.htm for the metal detector design and http://www.fullnet.com/~tomg/gooteepc.htm for how to make circuit boards with a laser printer.

Thanks to Intel and L-3 Communications for the funding. Thank you to the College of Engineering at the University of Utah for providing funding. Thank you to Theresa Mbaku, Lin Eugster and Diedre Schoenfeld for helping to coordinate the Camp. Thanks to Eric Fisher for lending us his power tools. Thanks to Adam Beehler and Zigmund Peacock in Physics at the University of Utah for their aid and inspiration for the metal detector project. And thank you TMBG for your fun music.

@1:05 - if you're going to teach kids about electronics, teach them right.. the approach used to drill and solder those components on that circuit board is a distaster

@ScrewAttackChina true dat. but its all we had at the high school...doh! they had fun.
